How big is the top opening (both longest and shortest distance)? I'm trying to figure out what size tea infuser to use with it.

Hi Lydia, The opening is 7cm at the widest point and 6cm at the narrowest. I'm very happy with the pot. Best, Mark

infusers are not designed for tea bags, they're to be used with loose tea that has not been ground finely like the bags. The ball is 2" diameter, so place the amount of loose tea that you hope to use into a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a ball. If the size is under 2" in diameter, this will work for you.

About 4 1/2" tall and just about as wide. I didn't realize it comes with its own infuser. I love it, perfect for tea for two.

The lid fits into the infuser. If you don't use the infuser you cannot use the lid.

I checked the infuser and it holds almost half a cup in it. It is very large for the size of the pot which holds 2.5 to 3 cups of liquid. I think you would be able to make very strong tea with it.

Yes, it is the same level of snug with or without the infuser. The infuser is secured to the middle of the lid.

What a great question! I meant to use mine for iced tea last weekend for one of my "Playshops," but the day was such I switched to hot tea. I measured the top opening and it is 2 inches. The ice cubes from my refrigerator ice maker would have no problem fitting, but I don't know what you use. I would guess you will not have an issue. Good luck!

The opening is 8 inches if you go straight in but if you tilt it then you can fill a much larger travel mug. Hope this helps. It is really great.

It holds 64oz of tea. The infuser is hollow to the top not taking up much space.

We wanted to clear up some dimensional information - so thanks Elizabeth for asking. With the top on and locked the strainer is 2 inches in diameter at its widest point and just over 2 inches tall. It holds 5 teaspoons of tea, but we recommend using 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of tea to get great flavor and allow the tea to fully expand. Hope that helps, Don (Schefs)

I'd say it's better because it's bigger. Not having to remove the infuser is an added bonus.

The infuser basket is removable. I find that the basket is fine for bulky teas, just let the tea steep for longer and save on herbs in the long run! I do think that the basket could be replaced with a longer one but find it unnecessary do to the reason mentioned above. Less is more. : )

The infuser is six inches tall. It does float in a tall mug. Most likely a little short for your Hydro Flask.

I own two of these , one for work and one for home. The rim is 3 and3/4 inches across. The actual opening where the lid might go is 2 and 1/4 inches.I usually steep my tea and then remove the strainer and put the lid on. Or the lid can rest on top but it isn't secure.

Hi Katie! The slotted infuser insert is 4 inches long, and one and 1/4 inches in diameter. It can be pushed up into the cap of the infuser, or I prefer to just let it sit in the bottom, as the fruit will continue flavoring the water when the water level gets low. I LOVE my infuser, have had it for quite a while now, and have found it to be VERY sturdy. I'm not gentle with my things, and this has proven itself to be rugged. I have it with me all day, every day. I know you wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase. Best Wishes, Ann

The pyramid box is about the size of a regular tea bag. I'm not a tea drinker, so I don't know what an infuser is, but I'm pretty sure the box I got included only the tea bags (48 of them). I bought this for my daughter last Christmas who fell in love with the tea bags when they were served to her on vacation. They are tasty teas.

I saw an extra large ball infuser. The carafe holds an entire pot if coffee, so the larger tea ball would probably work best.
